Hardiman Manager, Regulatory Affairs/Clinical Affairs Laserscope 3052 Orchard Drive San Jose, CA 95134-2011 408 943-0636 Phone: FAX: 408 943-1454 ### DEVICE TRADE NAME: Aura Dye Laser System (ADLS) #### DEVICE COMMON NAME: Tunable Dye Laser System #### DEVICE DESCRIPTION: The Laserscope Aura Dye Laser System and Accessories consists of a moveable consoles containing power supples, aiming and treatment lasers on a solid optical deck, and a cooling mechanism to dissipate the heat generated by the system. The entire laser unit and controls are contained in two consoles, an Aura KTP/532 laser as a pump source, and a Dye Module to produce treatment light. Consoles 1 and 2 are electrically connected to the facility's power {1}------------------------------------------------ source. Emission of the pumping laser beam from Console 1 is through a flexible fiber optic to Console 2, the Dye Laser Module. Treatment light is delivered from Dye Module through fiber optic handpieces and/or scanner. The user interface consists of an LCD on Console 1 which displays laser parameters, data on connected devices and information on messages and prompts. Located on the front panel of Console 1 are four knobs enabling the user to select laser settings, and a READY/STANDBY button for selecting READY or STANDBY mode. An on/off keyswitch turns the laser system on and off. An emergency shut off button disables the laser and places the laser system in a holding status. #### DEVICE CLASSIFICATION: KTP/532 Pumped Dye Laser Systems and Accessories have not been specifically classified; however Nd.YAG, C02, and Argon Surgical Lasers have been classified as Class II medical devices by the OB/GYN, General Plastic Surgery and ENT Device Advisory Panels (884.4550, 878.4810, and 874.4490 & 874.4500. respectively).. ## PERFORMANCE STANDARDS: The Laserscope Aura Dye Laser System and accessories complies with federal regulations and the performance standards 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 for medical laser systems. #### INDICATION FOR USE STATEMENT: The Laserscope Aura Dye Laser System and Accessories is indicated for use in the procedures involving cutting (incision/excision), vaporizing. {2}------------------------------------------------ ablation and coagulation of soft tissue. All soft tissue in included such as skin, cutaneous tissue, subcutaneous tissue, striated and smooth tissue, muscle, cartilage meniscus, mucous membrane, lymph vessels and nodes, organs and glands. #### CLINICAL APPLICATIONS: Dermatology / Plastic Surgery General Surgery Genitourinary Gynecology Oral / Maxillofacial Otorhinolaryngology / Head and Neck (ENT) Ophthalmology Podiatry #### COMPARISON WITH PREDICATE DEVICE: The Laserscope Aura Dye Laser System is substantially equivalent to Laserscope Aura and Orion Lasers systems, as well as the Coherent Versa Pulse C, Candela ScleroPulse, and Cynosure PhotoGenica LV laser systems based on wavelength, pulse duration and/or pulse frequency. The risks end benefits for the Laserscope Aura Dye Laser System and Accessories are comparable to the predicate devices when used for similar clinical applications. Since the Laserscope Aura Dye Laser System and Accessories are Image /page/2/Picture/8 description: The image shows a series of black shapes against a white background. The shapes appear to be stylized and somewhat abstract, resembling a series of connected or overlapping forms. The contrast between the black shapes and the white background is stark, making the shapes stand out prominently. The shapes are arranged horizontally, creating a visual pattern across the image. {3}------------------------------------------------ substantially equivalent with respect to indications for use, materials, method of operation and physical construction to the predicate device, we believe it clearly meets the requirements for substantial equivalence according to Section 510(k) guidelines. Safety and effectiveness are reasonably assured, therefore justifying 510(k) clearance for commercial sale. # 000010 {4}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/4/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
